This is a study of the relations between Britain and Chile during
the Spanish American independence era (1806-1831). These relations
were characterised by a dynamic, unpredictable, and changing
nature, imperialism being only one and not the exclusive way to
define them. The book explores how Britons and Chileans perceived
each other from the perspective of cultural history, considering
the consequences of these 'cultural encounters' for the subsequent
nation-state building process in Chile. From 1806 to 1831 both
British and Chilean 'state' and 'non-state' actors interacted
across several different 'contact zones', and thereby configured
this relationship in multiple ways. Although the extensive presence
of 'non-state' actors (missionaries, seamen, educators and
merchants) was a manifestation of the 'expansion' of British
interests to Chile, they were not necessarily an expression of any
British imperial policy. There were multiple attitudes,
perceptions, representations and discourses by Chileans on the role
played by Britain in the world, which changed depending on the
circumstances. Likewise, for Britons, Chile was represented in
multiple ways, the image of Chile acting as a pathway to other
markets and destinations being the most remarkable. All these had
repercussions in the early nation-building process in Chile.
